How is Q2 shaping up compared to Q1? Every thing is so uncertain and unpredictable, I think our customers are afraid to invest in anything that’s not essential. I was hoping I would see an improvement this quarter . Crossing my fingers for Q3, I guess!

Yeah I dont' think that the economy or global politics seem any more calm than they did at the beginning of Q1, so I feel like businesses and families alike are being frugal right now. Not great for those of us in sales

Yeah, this sounds right.

Things aren't going well at all, but I can hardly blame customers. So many people are struggling and IMO things are going to get a lot worse over the next couple of years, not better. I'm realizing that I may need to get ready to make a career change.

What would you switch to?

Q2 has been a GRINDDD. I feel like almost every customer is being more picky with their budgets and their not making any big decisions. It might just be the state of the world and the economy and how unclear everything is right now. Companies are definitely more conservative in their way of moving. Hoping next quarter helps give clarity to them.

Yeah, we have clients who keep saying check back in a couple months.

I totally get that feeling; my team saw the same cautious vibes in Q2. A friend in B2B sales said even warm leads were stalling. Here’s hoping Q3 brings a little confidence back. What signs are you watching to gauge if things are starting to shift?
